Lucille’s Kitchen

Lucille’s Kitchen is a community culinary initiative rooted in fellowship, cultural preservation, and food-based entrepreneurship. Named in honor of a legacy of hospitality, the project offers residents access to shared kitchen space, educational programming, and workforce-building opportunities in Charlotte’s growing culinary sector.

The space supports local chefs, home cooks, and aspiring food entrepreneurs through training, mentorship, and resources that help transform creative talent into viable business pathways. Lucille’s Kitchen also serves as a gathering place for neighbors, fostering community connection through the shared experience of cooking and breaking bread together.

By elevating culinary heritage while promoting economic mobility, Lucille’s Kitchen strengthens both community identity and long-term opportunity.
